Hello. Why dies eHRC adds 2 extra historical block look ups, or block average times to Feahtercoin? Doesn’t it make mining more difficult?   
Such changes allow to calculate the new difficulty more accurately, this improves the quality of the mining itself considerably. In addition the introduction of eHRC included re-calculation of the difficulty, called Re-Target, after every block.
Why was it necessary to implement eHRC? As far as i know, not all the blockchains provide it.    
eHRC were designed was to help protect block chains against wild variations in the POW hash rate available. Even such major cryptocurrencies as bitcoin may suffer ‘cause of this.
